      Hemp is a one for one replacement for plastic. Not only hemp stronger than traditional plastics, but it is also biodegradable and sustainability sourced. You can farm for hemp yearly in the same soil. There is no striping of the soil, with no need to swap crops a year from year to replenish the nutrients. Hemp has a greater bend strength that is stronger than steel and carbon fibers. It does not take up space in landfills because it is reusable for years, and when its thrown away, it degrades away. Hemp also does not bleed toxins into your food. Anything that is made from plastic can be made from hemp.

      In theory, hemp could replace everything made from plastic around the world. Hemp is entirely biodegradable and grows in abundance. On average, a hemp plant takes 90 to 140 to be ready to harvest. The biggest issue in replacing all plastic items with hemp plastic is the cost. Hemp plastic is more durable than petrochemical plastics and is more environmentally friendly.

      With the severe speed of hemp overtaking the all kinds of products in the entire universe this fact is predictable but in far future maybe, because hemp grows abundantly, it makes an exceedingly efficient crop for the sustainable plastic called bioplastics and having this in mind of inventors the raised question could be com true in future, god knows!

      Bioplastics are great, lightweight, biodegradable, and we can replace a lot of regular plastics with hemp plastic. There are some things that need more flexibility or strength. There’s a lot of things, from medicine packages to cars made of plastic. One at a time, they are testing the possible applications, but some end up too expensive or otherwise too inefficient to use hemp.

      Hemp is an extremely wonderful crop that can be used to create sustainable plastics, which are also called as “bioplastic.” These bioplastics are made from a combination of hemp, and other resources, 100% hemp-based plastic is still a rarity. Hemp-based plastics are stronger and stiffer than standard plastic, which makes it a good alternative or replacement for it. While replacing everything that is plastic with hemp plastic is possible, it might take many years to happen.

      Everything?

      Probably not. To get hemp to replace all plastics would be a MASSIVE undertaking.

      It probably could replace certain things, but not all plastics.

      We already use a lot of plant cellulose-based products in some places. Because hemp grows so aggressively, I bet we could eventually use it to replace more plastics as time goes on, but not quite EVERYTHING.
